    Boneless Peking duck at Old Peking Restaurant in Tucson that's San Francisco quality.

    Both Google and Yelp say there are 134 Chinese restaurants in Tucson AZ. When I moved here from San Francisco's China Town area five years ago I quickly learned that I had left great Chinese food behind and my routine of dining on Chinese food 2-3X/week was in trouble. I have tried out 35-40 different restaurants and have never found anything San Francisco quality UNTIL LAST NIGHT. Old Peking's food was a total hit to all at my table- there were servings of various vegetables, noodles, several different seafoods and of course Peking Duck. With the fabulous duck there were three choices- duck served whole, cut up with bones and cut up boneless. My attached photo is the boneless. IT WAS CHINETOWN QUALITY! The service was very good, nice soft music, good quality furniture and everything spotlessly clean AND the prices were way less than San Francisco. Wave if you see a guy with a tie-dyed visor, that would be me.

    On a recommendation from our hotel staff, we found it on point as our take-out was delish from the get-go! Not from Tucson but upon a return visit this will be the first choice for eats.

    Mapo Tofu with Pork (SC)

    You'd think that when you pay $16 for a tofu dish that it would come with rice. That is not the case. Mapo Tofu was extremely oily to eat without rice. I ordered pick up so I didn't notice till I got home. Just go to the Buffett...this is not better.

    I always feel welcomed here. I love the food and this is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town.

    We ordered a variety of dishes to share, we all agreed the sweet and sour chicken was our favorite. The waitress was friendly and attentive.

    I would eat here everyday! Food was out of this world Everything came out hot and fresh out the wok. Some of the most authentic and delicious Chinese I've ever had. Service staff was attentive and friendly. Waitress was knowledgeable about her menu and excited to help us. Decor, furniture, and landscaping made for an immersive experience. Would recommend to family and friends

    The Peking duck was delicious, and the staffs were helpful in how to order the Peking duck. My families from California enjoyed very much.

    Chicken fried rice
    Yelena R.

    Good flavors however, lately I am having hard time finding chicken in their sweet and sour chicken. Disappointing! The fried rice is always good and their hot and sour soup is the best. Fast service. They bring the food to the table as it becomes ready so some people in your party might be eating while you are waiting on your food

    A container the size of my hand.

    Has Old Peking recently changed management? This has been our go-to for take out since we moved to the neighborhood 10 years ago. Tonight I ordered take out with delivery. The food use to come in large white styrofoam containers. The friend rice would practically fall out when the lid was opened, it was piled so high. Tonight it came in a container 1/2 the size and was oily. In fact all 4 things we ordered were dripping in oil. I have included a picture of the Mongolian beef. That's oil in the container. That doesn't include the oil that was on my plate. It was swimming in it. If you don't believe me about the container size look at the restaurants photos on the yelp page. It shows the food in the big white containers. Now look at the picture I added of my container tonight. I know times are tough. I know food prices have risen, but 1/2 the same amount of food and much lower quality, we sadly won't be back.

    We had it take out. It was served quickly and piping hot. They forgot the chop sticks, but not a big deal.

The unassuming run down strip mall facade I hope offers a low rent lot for them to keep business going forever, and also offers customers pretty reliable free parking. Take a menu and order first at the register before finding a seat within the bare bones interior. Yes, there's a cool wall mural of a kung fu noodle girl and a LOT of (hopefully) ironic quips about working, but otherwise it's just some tables, the glass storefront, the register, and the kitchen. It's fortunately pretty spacious so you won't have to feel the heat radiating from your neighbor or their soup bowl. I like a focused menu, and Noodleholics has just a few different options that they do and do well. We opted for the spicy Chaoshou Dumplings as well as a bowl of the Taiwanese Beef and The Guilin. The Chaoshou Dumplings were good but just okay, with me hoping for an oilier type sauce to better coat each dumpling, though the sauce definitely has a kick. The noodle soups though... Wow. Both soup bases were savory rich and nourishing, packed full of fresh protein and veggies. I liked the wide wheat noodles more than the thinner rice noodles in the Guilin, but really enjoyed the mixture of pickled veggies and crunchy peanuts that often don't make it into dishes outside of a true Chinese restaurant. I do think the beef and pork could be more tender, but they really perfected the crispy skin of the pork. This is a great affordable, casual meal that just feeds your soul, and I like that once they bring your food out, everything else is self-serve so you're not waiting around for a takeout box or refilling water, which is all located at a convenient counter. Another mark of an authentic Asian restaurant is a toothpick dispenser (check!). If they ever opened a location in my area, I know I'd be a regular!

You order at the register and can choose to sit anywhere. Our food came out quickly. We ordered the Guilin dried style and the other bowl with broth. The noodle bowl includes rice noodles. meat-based spiced sauce, spicy pickled greens & bamboo, pickled long beans, roasted peanuts, and you can choose between 2 proteins. For my two proteins, I chose crispy pork belly and pork intestine. I wish they gave a little more because it was so good. I personally loved the dry one because the noodles soaked well with the sauce. The sauce was sooo gooodddd. The noodles were perfectly cooked - had a good soft bounce to it. The guilin with broth was also so good. The broth was perfectly cooked chicken broth. The pickled greens were a nice touch to balance the flavors. I wish this place was closer to me because I literally would go every week. This is one of the best noodle bowls I had in such a long time. Next time when I am in Tucson, I am going to try their other menu items because everything looked so good. Very reasonable price and great portions. There were lots of tables inside. Restaurant was clean. Parking was spacious. You have to try this!!

He was incredibly friendly, polite, and attentive. I noticed how kind and courteous he was, not only to us but to the other tables around us as well. His customer service stood out so much that we actually asked him for his name before we left. Keep up the great work! And Alex, thank you for taking such great care of everyone in the restaurant.

It's a local staple full of fresh breads, yummy pastries and stacked sandwiches. For me, it felt like Panera but 10x better. I went with Fridas Flight and my husband had Curt's Club.

We also got a sticky bun, on a recommendation from the very friendly staff, and this was SO GOOD. Highly recommend heating it up a little bit. Overall, with the extensive menu, you can pretty much find anything you want here, sandwich-wise. Definitely recommend if you're ever in Tucson!!

The dumplings were good, though I was underwhelmed by the lack of spice on the Spicy Pork wonton dumplings. The flavor was very good, but it was not spicy at all. For entrees, we got Curry Chicken and Cumin Lamb. I'd never had Cumin Lamb before, and it rocketed to the top of my favorites list! It was gorgeously flavorful, fragrant, and spicy, warming as I ate. The spiced oil soaked into the rice, spreading the flavor to every last grain. It's really lovely and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is bigger than it appears from the outside, with a bright, cheerful ambience. Despite being busy, it never felt too loud, which was nice. The servers worked as a team and were very attentive. It was a great meal!
